Take action
Every year, over 9 million children die before their fifth birthday. World leaders have promised to dramatically cut these deaths. We need YOUR help to make sure they keep their promises. Add your voice below and demand world leaders do all they can for children across the world.
- Make Your Mark to save 10 million lives
Every year almost 10 million children die before their fifth birthday. They’re dying from easily preventable and treatable causes like diarrhoea, malaria and malnutrition. In this day and age, that’s an outrage. In just a few seconds you can make your mark and put pressure on governments. They have to take positive action now to stop children dying. Make your mark today.
- Tell the G8 not to do things by halves
There’s never been a more crucial time for the world’s poorest children. Yet in the midst of this global crisis, more children will continue to die unless the G8 commits to double donor funding for maternal and child health. The G8 must not do things by halves. Send Gordon Brown a vital message today telling him to make sure the G8 takes decisive action for children across the world.

- Create change for kids in Liberia
Every hour two children in Liberia die from preventable causes. Add your voice to ours so that together we can tell politicans to invest more time and money into saving lives.
- Decorate our fifth birthday action cards
We think it's unacceptable that over 9 million children die every year of preventable causes, before they reach their fifth birthday. If you do too, create a fifth brthday card and write a personal message to Gordon Brown. The more cards he gets, the more he'll have to listen.
